Summary

The main objective of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the lumbar nerve root stimulation with ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis versus the electrical dry needling of trigger points in patients with chronic low back pain.

Conditions

  • Chronic Low-back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis in the lumbar nerve root

This group will be treated with intratissue percutaneous electrolysis using a needle G32 with galvanic current as a cathodic flow electrode in the posterior nerve root of L3 (one times per week / 6 weeks). The intervention will be guided by ultrasound equipment medically certified (Directive 93/42 / EEC) device (EPI Advanced Medicine, Barcelona, Spain).

OTHER

Electrical Dry Needling in trigger points

It consists in apply the ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis on active and/or latent TPs in the gluteus medius, quadratus lumborum, and erector spinae muscles of the subjects L3 (one times per week / 6 weeks).
